COMMENTS
Good campsite, firewood and water available. BYO everthing... Most years it rains (it is a rain forest), and you can find leaches.
There may be limited hot food avaliable, but it goes quickly.
The creek can be used as a swimming hole, but leaches may be present.
Awards for longest distance (male and female), oldest combined bike and rider and hard luck.
No cars, No walkins.

The OZ Adventure Riders usually have a meeting on the Friday night before the rally at a close location. They prefer dirt roads, so be prepared.
You may find some of the BMW Touring Club of NSW members at the Bank Hotel on the Friday night before the rally too.
